Tyrants of Self-Concept: Ruling the Rulers

This book’s purpose is to demonstrate that the mass of men and women do not have to spend their lives limited by the critical voices of mental spectators-those little tyrants rattling around inside their heads, telling them second by second how to fight their battles, what they can and cannot do, what they must and must not do.
